A quick odometer and speedometer question.

[redneck21]

I took off all my gauge needles to redo the color. When i put them back on i think i have it right. I set my speed with the cruse control at 60. It took me 30 seconds for the odometer to go from .o miles to .5 miles. So i was right on. My friend told me that the odometer might read from the speedometer so it can still be off. Is this true?

Yes, there is one signal going into the speedometer, and it feeds both. The needle on the speedometer is very likely off, check it driving next to another vehicle. I used a little trial and error, mine was 35mph too fast to begin with. Good luck,

ok thank for the reply. I don't think it's to off maybe 5-10 but i just want it to be a lot closer b/c a ticket will be more of a PIA then fixing it.

Hunt for a speed display near construction zones, those help.
